ラヴィッツァラのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Most beautiful in autumn when the larches are yellow

The path leads down a new route through the vineyards.

As others have already said: It's tough, steep, and beautiful here! It's best to split the climb into shorter stages, so the 2,000 meters of elevation gain over 30 kilometers from Bignasco aren't quite as terrifyingly daunting. From Bignasco to Prato Sornico, it's rarely very steep. There are a few flat sections where you can pick up a decent pace. After Mogno (visit the church in Botta) and up to Fusio, things really get going for the first time. Many hairpin bends soften the incredibly nasty ramps, but your legs will still be tested here! Up to the Sambucco reservoir, it becomes truly idyllic, green, and quiet. There are a few tough climbs, but even here, the difficulty is still manageable. There's a fountain at the summer restaurant: fill up your bidons again, because there are only streams and gullies here. After the relaxing flat section by the lake, the final and most strenuous part of the climb follows. The scenery is stunning, but it's steep all the way to the top! Wow!

Westbound sections of the trail closed due to the landslides of summer 2024

This educational trail is suitable for all ages. It provides a wealth of interesting information about Brontallo. You should allow about two hours for this walk. We were here in October and stuffed our stomachs with delicious grapes and also collected a bag of chestnuts along the way. Finally, you can stop at the Nuova Osteria Brontallo. They serve delicious Ticino cuisine (check the opening hours! There's no kitchen from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.!). Parking is available in the central parking lot just after entering the village on the left.

For me, one of the most beautiful grottos in the whole of Ticino. Not far from the road there are fine local specialties and a good café. The grotto is located directly on the Fiume Peccia, which flows over a few large boulders and forms a natural pool underneath. From the outside of the grotto you have a direct view of the blue-green water.

Well furnished and managed hut on the small, beautiful Lake Tomeo.
